📌 Episode Summary:
I thought I was ready. I thought I had it together. But when the casket closed, so did the lid on a lifetime of suppressed emotions.
In this raw, final walk-through of my father’s funeral, burial, and repass, I open up about grieving in the presence of fake smiles, old predators, and a family name wrapped in complicated love.
From social anxiety to sacred boundaries, this episode is about more than death—it’s about telling the truth, even when no one wants to hear it. And it’s about learning how to release pain without needing permission.
If you've ever buried someone physically while still holding emotional weight, this one’s for you.
